Investigation Summary
In the basement burner room on the north side of the building, employees were bleeding air from gas lines over and around a twin 1 million BTU Weil-McLain two-zone gas heating system. This enclosed space was approximately 14 ft by 16 ft. A gas buildup occurred when the pipe unions were opened. The subcontractor allegedly tried to light the pilot with a cigarette lighter. The explosion killed Employee #1, the project manager, and severely burned three plumbers and the owner/carpenter contractor. This was an electronic ignition system. The building had 51 apartments ready for occupancy.
